Sponsored by the Biology Department

Students desiring to attend a veterinarian medicine program or optometry program can best prepare for their graduate education by completing the Biology major .

Although a number of elective courses in the biology major are satisfactory options for these career paths, we strongly recommend that students choose the following courses:

  • Biol 225 Human Physiology
  • Biol 230 Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy
  • Biol 251 Microbiology
  • Biol 334 Cell Biology
  • Chem 330 Biochemistry
  • Biol 285 Developmental Biology OR Biol 340 Immunology

In addition, students should complete a Career Observation in these professional areas during a May Term.
